Hinduism in the Life of Pi In Yann Martel’s book Life of Pi, Pi focuses his life on three different religions including Hinduism, which is symbolized throughout Pi’s life, helping him endure his terrifying ordeal. Pi’s belief in God is shown through his worship and curiosity in religions. Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism are the main focus of his religious views. When he was merely a young boy his Aunt Rohini brought him on his first journey to a Hindu temple. He was intrigued by the colors, symbols, and meanings of the Hindu culture and he became Hindu (Martel). It was his first venture into the sacred world of religion. Hinduism plays a big factor in Pi’s life. We can see this throughout the book with indirect philosophies being mentioned.
